Peter Noble Mural

[Jacka]

Coming down for the game next Saturday, is the mural still on the stadium ?

If not will the memorial garden be accessible.

Cheers in advance

The memorial garden is always accessible.

By mural do you mean the large player photos on the stadium walls? If so they are no longer displayed, I think the chairman had them taken down.

Why were these taken down ?

Why were these taken down ?

Don't open that can of worms again!

[claretblue]

Don't open that can of worms again!

the question fans should be demanding an answer to is:
‘why aren’t they being put back up?’

they were so popular and a great historic feature…I’ve yet to hear of any fan not wishing their reinstatement!

[wilks_bfc]

Why were these taken down ?

Not flashy and bright enough for the “club image”

[ClaretTony]

Why were these taken down ?

We received an email from the chairman informing us that they were being returned to their original positions once the painting had been done. They weren’t and all subsequent emails to the chairman were ignored.

It was at a meeting in December 2022 that the Supporters Groups were informed by Russell Ball that they would not be going back on the walls because, he said: “Alan doesn’t like them.”

We offered some alternatives but it was clear that the football club didn’t want them anywhere on their footprint.

An alternative was sought which appeared to be successful but nothing happened I’m afraid and they can no longer be located.

‘…An alternative was sought which appeared to be successful but nothing happened I’m afraid and they can no longer be located…’
an ideal location would be on the railings facing into the memorial garden.
I’d certainly take one if offered the chance!

[claretblue]

‘…they can no longer be located…’

do you mean no one knows there whereabouts Tony?
…that’s very disappointing and alarming!

I didn’t realise that was the case , thanks for clarifying.
Maybe we can get some Espanyol legends put up instead

Hi mate hope you’re well, will you be in a pub before the game Saturday?

[Tricky Trevor]

Perhaps he’d prefer JFK, Eisenhower, Muhammad Ali, etc.,
I find it particularly strange as American sports teams make every use of their history and their love for former stars and their glory.

Where are they, is probably a good question.

[Goliath]

Pace obviously prefers a long bare black wall

[Papabendi]

Perhaps try again with some LED lighting around them.

The chairman's whims are becoming a pain in the ar$e.

At the very least they should have been given to a supporters group, if they’ve been destroyed it’s sacrilegious

[Jacka]

Apologies never meant to poke the nest

[Jacka]

Again apologies happy to contact the club on behalf of the family and Burnley supporters !

[Inchy]

Being replaced by plaques of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young.

Don’t shoot the messenger!

Although come to think of it I think that’s what happened to Smith

[It Is What It Is]

Peter Noble....probably the greatest footballing player Burnley FC ever had....he could play anywhere. It was a privilege to see him so many times.

[k90bfc]

An absolute disgrace what Alan Pace did from day one,I have posted many times,He has no respect whatsoever,for our past players and fans,All he is bothered about is the Future and making money,All the past familys would love to have a picture with their Grandad etc,an ex player whatever,He has taken it away from All Of Us,Sorry It is just how I feel,UTC.

[jrgbfc]

Was only tongue in cheek as it caused a big fuss! I actually agree with those who think it stinks, not only taking them down but the snidey way its been done and lack of consultation with those who sorted them out in the first place.

[Claret Till I Die]

Again apologies happy to contact the club on behalf of the family and Burnley supporters !

Good luck pal. Burnley FC hierarchy have not interest or idea of the history of our club

[CoolClaret]

Head that they're in a lockup somewhere in Catalonia...

The chairman’s fair game on here as he’s not liked. He’s got decisions wrong, this being one of them (they should’ve been given away to be used elsewhere), but he’s got a lot right too.

All you can ask is a fair and balanced view and not a partisan bias.
